My Demanding Dad Insists on Changing the Script

It's about to go premium. A deep bow to you all!

Here's a preview of my upcoming novel, The Duke's Heir Returns to the Fray.

On the eightieth anniversary of his death, Ban Yi, Duke of Cheng, was dug up and put on trial. His already skeletal remains were flogged, then reduced to bones and ashes and scattered to the winds.

Such an insult would be unbearable to any person, let alone a ghost.

Ban Yi had been waiting for his descendants to offer tributes and celebrate his birthday. In a fit of rage, he somehow came back to life and possessed his eighth-generation descendant, Ban Chao, to find out what had happened.

But as soon as he looked into it, he was dragged right back into the treacherous political turmoil of the court.

Ban Chao, the eighth-generation descendant of the Duke of Cheng, was never meant to inherit the family estate. But after his older brothers one by one got into trouble and ruined themselves, the title gradually fell to him. As the youngest child in the ducal family, he had never been raised as an heir. He had spent his whole life eating, drinking, and having fun, expecting to live carefree forever. Born to his mother when she was nearly fifty, he was her late-in-life miracle, spoiled beyond all reason, even more unruly than the duke's eldest grandson.

For someone like him, being framed and thrown into prison after inheriting the title might seem only natural.

But the fate of the Ban family of the Duke of Cheng changed the day Ban Chao was imprisoned.

As Ban Chao steadily climbed the ranks at court and drew his sword against the enemies who had once driven him into peril, they finally understood: the blood of Ban Yi, the first Duke of Cheng, ran through this man's veins.

His features and his resolute face, so sharp that no one dared look him in the eye, were dazzling and imposing. Anyone who heard his name, whether they knew him or not, was struck with fear.

Even more remarkably, the Ban family army, scattered to the four winds by the interference of imperial power, gathered once more, once again raising the roar of a hundred thousand soldiers: “We welcome the duke back to court! We will defend the safety of Great Qian!”

“We welcome the duke back to court! We will defend the safety of Great Qian!”

This was the kind of grand reception a founding hero deserved, not being dragged from his coffin and reduced to ashes.

Ban Yi arched a brow and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling and trembling on the ground. Then he gently asked the young emperor on the throne, “Your Majesty, are you happy to have me back at court?”
